That kind of hat is on my list, too - though I dislike garter stitch. My garter stitches never looks as nice as stockinette :(
This was done with short rows, wasn't it? What kind do you use?

I wrap a stitch at the end of each short row to avoid holes.

Ah - the "wrap + turn". I use "German short rows" (simply called "verkürzte Reihen" in German). Though with garter stitch the method probably doesn't matter, the up + down of the rows hides any trace of them :)

I will look this up in my German knitting book. Is it easier than wrap + turn?
In my opinion - yes. But it's the way I learnt to do them first so I'm partial ;)

Here's a link to VeryPink Knits showing German short rows - she's the first place I go to when I need knitting help in English.
